The present study outlines the bibliometric indicators of the reported scientific research related to AMR in wildlife during the timeframe from 1979 to 2019 (40 years). The initial 399 records were transferred to Mendeley: the duplicates and not relevant publications (e.g., publications related to the environmental, human, livestock and domestic setting) were removed. After the initial screening, a total of 157 publications were considered. We completed the research selection with additional publications (n=57) cited in review papers (Arnold et al., 2016; Vittecoq et al., 2016). Overall, 214 publications were included in the analysis (Figure 1) (supplementary material).
